Witness this Christmas with the Legend of Candy Cane Poem. This free printable gift tag reminds your receiver of Jesus, the Shepherd, and His blood shed for our sins. It’s a cute gift for church, Sunday School, Awana and more!

Candy Cane Poem Printable

Does your family have any Christmas Traditions? We have two traditions we have been pretty consistent about. First, we have done Elf on the Shelf from the time the kids were very young. This of course if very fun and a good way to enforce good behavior over the excitement of the Christmas season. We also try to reign it home with the reason for the season – Jesus. This can be done via Advent Calendars or Birthday Cakes for Jesus (coming soon!) We also love to share the message of these season with our Candy Cane Poem Printable.

Candy Cane Poem Gift

When you are apart of a bible study or Sunday school group, gifting to the entire group can feel rather daunting. Your group is likely quite important to you and you want to show a little thought but spending money on everyone isn’t very friendly on the wallet. For those of us who have the love language of giving gifts, this frugal friendly Candy Cane Poem is for you!

Look at the candy cane, what do you see?
Stripes that are red, like the blood shed for me.
White is for my Savior, who’s sinless and pure!
J is for Jesus, my Lord,
That’s for sure!
Turn it around and a staff you will see;
Jesus, my shepherd, was born for me!

The poem is a cute way to witness over the Christmas season. It’s also a gift that can be re-gifted to witness to unbelievers too! Simply print your PDF (see below) and cut the Gift Tags out. Cut a hole and tie to a candy cane with a Christmas Ribbon.

Also check this out! I also gave this adorable punny paper towel gift tag to my group of bible study ladies last year.

Simplistic Wire Holly Wreath Craft for Christmas

DIY Minimal Christmas Wreath. Tutorial on how to make a simplistic wire Holly Wreath craft for Christmas. A few simple steps and supplies create a beauty farmhouse wreath.

Holly Wreath Craft

We wanted to add our own ideas to last year’s DIY Christmas Wreaths. Because we are pretty pumped about simplistic crafts, this wreath was just that – easy.

Using wire, felt, and pom-poms, create an easy and elegant Christmas Wreath for the door, to hang from Kitchen cabinets to display to adorn a Christmas vignette in your home.

Christmas Wire Wreath Supplies

Just a few simple supplies make this elegant holly wreath.

Copper craft wire – 14 or 16 gauge (we used this Copper Wire)
Craft pliers (this pack of three is highly rated)
Felt fabric (we used two sades of green)
Scissors
Craft glue or hot glue gun
Pom poms

You can actually find these red pom poms at the Dollar Store!

Christmas Holly Wreath Directions

You can use 14 gauges or 16 gauge wire to make the wreath base. Determine the size of the wreath and circle the wire 2 to 3 times creating the determined round wreath base. Coil the open ends of the wire around the base band. (Our wreath is about 8 inches across.)

Next, cut small pieces of wires from the same wire bundle. These small wire pieces will be used to create branches around the wire base.

Like the image below, take any one of the wire pieces and coil half of the wire around the base tightly. Keep the other half (more or less than half as you prefer) of the coiled wire facing outside or inside of the round wire base.

Continue to add the small wire pieces to the wire wreath base. Keep the branches relatively close (but not too close) to each other. Spread apart like branches on a bush or tree.

Personalize your wreath: You can coil and fill the whole wreath base with the small wire branches or you can fill one fourth of the base like I did.

Next, we chose two different shades of green colored felt fabrics (or you can chose one color if you want to). Trace small leaf shapes on the selected felts and cut them out nicely.

If using hot glue, prepare the hot glue gun. Take a felt leaf cutout and attach it with a small wire branch on its outer edge by gluing any one of the open ends of the leaf. Glue half of the leaf with the wire branch, keeping the other half intact.

Continue to glue felt leaves with the wire branches.

Once the open ends of the wire branches are filled take the remaining felt leaves and slightly fold the half of the leaves along the middle line. This is to give the leaves a cute 3-D look. Apply glue along the fold to secure it.

Now attach the half folded leaves between the previously glued leaves on the wire base. Try filling the wire branches.

Done attaching the leaves? Finally, select some red or white pompoms and attach them on the leaves.

Display and enjoy!

Holiday Rosemary Wreath Craft

October 25, 2019 by Ashley at Frugal Coupon Living Filed Under: Christmas, Crafts, DIY, Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Social Media

A hostess will love these ideas for how to make your house smell good including our Holiday Rosemary Wreath Craft and Christmas Scents Essential Oils Blends.

Holiday Rosemary Wreath Craft

This Holiday Rosemary Wreath Craft is something that can be done in a matter of minutes. It can be done with small hands (by the help of mom) or as a DIY Christmas gift creating a creative way to make your house smell good this Christmas season.

How to Make Your House Smell Good

When our house was on the market in Florida, I got accused of having too many plugins in my home. I was told that it looked liked it masked a foul scent in the home (though that was not true.) I just love a scented home. In fact, scents take me to times and palces all the time, so I gravitate toward them for the rush of a deja vu moment.

There are many ways to make your house smell good. You can spent money on plug-ins, like I did when my house was on the market or you can adapt some of these Fresh smelling home tips.

First, a Holiday Simmer Pot. We shared this one with you last week. It’s great for when you are hosting and want the home to have an inviting smell.

Next, look at our Spring Cleaning Tips and Hacks. It doesn’t have to be spring to adapt some of these ideas. One idea I love is Pine-Sol in the toilet.

Of course, There are also Essential Oils. You can add a drop of essential oils to already existing potpourri, pine cones, or other absorbent items in your home or you can use an Essential Oil Diffuser and let the scent float into the air while it warms.

Of course, you can Hang fresh herbs. Herbal wreaths give a pleasant aroma. We our Holiday Rosemary Wreath Craft. We shaped Popsicle sticks into a star/snowflake and hung using a beautiful buffalo check ribbon. Supplies and directions listed below.

Christmas Scents Essential Oils

If using Essential Oils in your home, take a look at some of our Christmas Scents Essential Oils. You can blend scents or use them independently. Consider yourself needing cinnamon essential oil. They make up most of the holiday blends.

A few Essential Oil Christmas Scents include…

Candy Cane Essential Oil Blend

4 drops of wintergreen essential oil
2 drops of cinnamon essential oil

Christmas Tree Essential Oil Blend

Gingerbread House Essential Oil Blend

Eggnog Essential Oil Blend

Away in a Manger Essential Oil Blend

If you don’t want to make your own blends, you also can pick up an already blended set of Christmas Essential Oils.

Rosemary Wreath Craft Supplies

Get crafting one weekend afternoon with this Rosemary Wreath Craft. A fun and creative way to make your house smell good over the holiday season.

To keep this smell fresh, you can also add drops of cinnamon essential oil or rosemary essential oil.

Rosemary Wreath Craft Directions

First, glue the ends of 8 Crafts sticks together to look like a star/snowflake. Make sure they are evenly spaced.

In between every two sticks should be shaped like a “V”, glue two craft stick on top of every “V” to look like an inside down “V”.

Mix a tablespoon of white paint with a tablespoon of water to make it into a white wash.

Whitewash the star with a paint brush and your white whitewash paint and let dry.

Measure your rosemary to your craft sticks and cut to the size you need for each craft stick.

Carefully hot glue on rosemary spring to each craft stick and let dry.

Presents just mean so much more when they are homemade. It’s easier than you think to get crafty and it’s fun when you can incorporate the kids or even girlfriends. Just add a class of wine for the later!

This craft makes a really fun DIY Christmas Gift. It would be nice for a teacher (your child could participate), for a hostess gift, or even for yourself! It’s inexpensive and easy on the wallet. It isn’t a gift that will go tossed in the drawer and the receiver will always think about it when ever time the pleasant aroma pierces their nose! It’s the gift hat keeps on giving!

Pumpkin Carving Tip!

Pin to Pinterest

Take a look at this Pumpkin Carving Tip. Did you know you can extend the life of your pumpkin with a few simple steps?

Jack-o’Lantern Preservation Steps:

Hallow out your pumpkin making sure to remove as much of the stringy fibers and sizes on the inside as possible. A spoon helps well with this.
Rinse your pumpkin out with water
Carve your pumpkin
In a 5 gallon bucket, mix 1 gallon part water to 3 teaspoons bleach. I recommend 3 gal to 1 tsp.’
Dip your jack-o’-lantern in the solution for a full 2 to 3 minutes – your pumpkin will float, so be sure to dip it additionally with your hands to get it covered in solution.
Dry off your pumpkin as much as possible to prevent rot.

This is great if you want to carve a pumpkin early.

Edible Halloween Candy Wreath Craft

September 28, 2019 by Ashley at Frugal Coupon Living Filed Under: Crafts, DIY, Facebook, Halloween, Instagram, Pinterest, Social Media

Ridiculously easy, Edible Halloween Candy Wreath Craft. In just a few minutes, gather your Halloween Candy and make this door wreath for Halloween and your trick-or-treaters!

Edible Halloween Candy Wreath

We had fun with this Halloween craft. It’s an easy craft for even the most inexperienced crafter. Of course, that crafter would need to purchase a hot glue gun, if he/she doesn’t have one in the home. Then pick up a candy you won’t put entirely in your belly and start crafting your Halloween Candy Wreath.

Halloween Out of Candy Sign

Traditionally, on Halloween night my front door has our printable Out of Candy Halloween Sign after 9 pm. I guess, with this Halloween Wreath, I might never technically find myself out of candy. If you have this wreath on your front door on Halloween night, consider this candy to be eaten after you open the door for the last trick-or-treater. It might not be one you can keep for a long time.

Where to Buy a Halloween Candy Wreath

I am a work-at-home mom. So every craft actually takes a portion of my day and I calculate that time. If it isn’t something I am going to add to the website, then I add the hours the craft will take and how much I pay myself per hour (if I was working, over crafting.) If that time investment is too high, I buy. There, I admit it. I, Ashley, the owner of Frugal Coupon Living sometimes shops online more than she creates! I am sure other self-employed moms can relate!

So if making a Halloween Candy Wreath is not for you (maybe more candy would end up in your belly than on your front door), take a look at these places of Where to Buy a Halloween Candy Wreath.

Halloween Candy Wreath on Etsy
Halloween Candy Wreath on Grandin Road (not edible)

Halloween Candy Wreath Supplies

I like chocolate, so that was the direction I went for my wreath. Reese’s and KitKats. Yum. I would suggest keeping it inside, because… chocolate + heat = no bueno. You could make your wreath more colorful and incorporate things like Blow-Pops, Skittles, Air Heads, etc. This might be a wreath you can put outside.

For your Halloween Candy Wreath, you need these simple supplies…

12” Cardboard wreath form (3/4” thickness)
Snack size KitKats
Snack size Reese’s
Black 1.5” Grosgrain ribbon
Hot glue/hot glue gun
Scissors

Frugal Tip: You can also make your wreath form from a cardboard shipping box.

Halloween Candy Wreath Directions

If this is a wreath your family will snack on, don’t make this wreath too far in advanced. Also, if placing the wreath outdoors, find a snack for appropriate weather. For example, chocolate might not be a good choice for Floridians!

First, lay your cardboard wreath flat on a table.

Next, cut fives pieces of ribbon into 12” pieces. Place the ends together and cut at an angle.

Tie the five ribbons on the cardboard wreath in double knots. Space each piece out evenly from the other.

Begin by carefully gluing the Reese’s cups onto the cardboard until the wreath is full. (If you need permission, you may eat one piece of candy as you continue.)

Next start gluing the KitKat’s on top of the Reese’s cups until your wreath looks full. (That was difficult. You may have two more pieces of candy.)

Lastly, loop a black piece of ribbon through the wreath and tie into a knot to hang on your door.

Mom Hack: All remaining candy is yours. Hide the left over candy in a bag of vegetables or another place the kids won’t touch.
